Training progress

After Master Tenshi’s revealed the purpose of the training and have private sessions, Max, Iki, Alan, Kieran, Giovanni, and Elica found a new spirit and determination in their training. They also now realized the effect of the training clearer after each day.

Kieran is one of those who have a sharp improvement in his ability. The first notable thing is how he managed to create a compressed ball of sound. The effect of the skill is even more significant than what Kieran imagined. The compressed ball of sound could be thrown, and the moment he willed it, it exploded like a grenade. Not only causing damage in the area because of the wind created, but it is also because of the shockwave.

This newfound ability of him has increased his ability sharply. Not to mention there’s a lot of application of the sound element that he found out after he could visualize it. There’s no limit to imagination, and that’s precisely what Kieran has been enlightened after his mentoring session with Master Tenshi.

As for Alan, he could now transform only a part of his body. He didn’t realize it before, but after successfully transforming only his hand, not his whole body like before, he realized the true worth of this technique. The reduced energy consumption and the unpredictability of sneak attacks increased his battle capabilities by a considerable margin. Right now, when pushing the black ball, he only transformed his leg and arm, which is the only part he needed. Alan only transformed the Leg and arm for driving strength, which enabled him to push the black ball one-fifth of the journey up the slope. Although there’s still four-fifth of the journey, Alan believed that he would be able to clear it by the end of their one-month training duration. After all, he could feel his strength and energy increased as their training progressed.

Iki, as for the one with the most enormous amount of explosive strength amount them surprisingly didn’t focus on increasing his power. Contrary to everyone’s expectation, Iki is focusing more on the control of his power. The bracelet training is one of his main focuses as Master Tenshi’s guidance opened a new path for him. If he manages to utilize the amount of energy he has and unleash the most devastating move with the least amount of energy, he believes he could get stronger, and it wasn’t wrong at all. In the end, his power will be boosted the moment he could utilize every single ounce of energy in his body.

Giovanni, as the one with the S-rank speed, got inspiration when he saw the brute Iki using his power in a delicate way. If even a muscle i***t could learn to improve on his weakness, Giovanni as an intelligent person could show better results. Master Tenshi suggested two paths of training that he could take. The first is to increase his already S-rank speed and focus on it to break the limit of the S-rank. Secondly, he could improve his other stats to at least C-rank before increasing his speed again. At first, he wanted to hone his speed to become the fastest hero ever exist, but after looking at Iki, he realized that it wasn’t correct. In the end, if he could optimize his energy consumption and the power he could unleash, his speed will increase naturally. That is why he also opted to improve his overall ability.

Elica is also focusing on bracelet and balloon training. She already has talents in controlling her ability very well. After all, the ice whip, ice domain and her other ability showed her excellent degree of control. Master Tenshi explained to her that she should think out of the box and imagine the impossible, just like Kieran. After all, the ice element is rigid yet flexible. Many possibilities are waiting to be unlocked by her.

Lastly, the one that is practicing like there’s no tomorrow is none other than Max. Unlike his previous training with Kalina, this time, he fully understands the direction that he needs to take. It wasn’t to say that Kalina’s training is terrible. What she did are the basics. She is just giving him the training to make up for what he is lacking. Right now, Master Tenshi’s plan is to strengthen what he already has.

In the morning, when doing the ball-slope training, Max uses every ounce of energy on his body and tries to deplete it. That way, he will increase his energy and power at the same time. When it was time to catch animals, he ran with all his strength to train his body simultaneously. He even asked the rest of the group to spar with him.

He has experience from fighting with Kalina, but he realizes that it wasn’t enough. After all, there’re a lot of different martial arts and fighting styles. Although he couldn’t master them all, at least with fighting with the people here, he will increase his experience in close combat.

When it was time to fill the balloon, Max tried to increase his control of the wind. Although his real power is to control oxygen, he is still using the wind as it was the one he is most experienced with. As time goes by, he could start to feel the oxygen every time he commanded the wind. It can be said that sometimes he will enter the grey world, or his vision is still normal, only with white particles appearing here and there.

Max also doesn’t skimp out on the bracelet training. To achieve the most damage with the least amount of energy, with his A-rank sensitivity, he is trying to hone it further. The progress that Max’s made on this is enormous as the quality of his moves increased. His wind bullets are now only one finger wide and took a minuscule amount of energy. However, when it was launched, it could destroy a boulder easily or pierce multiple trees with ease.

After finishing the training menu that is given by Master Tenshi, Max used the personal resting time at night to increase his proficiency in controlling oxygen. Just like what he used to do, he asked the wind to envelop himself, but this time, he feels out the oxygen around him. As the day passed by, he could start to command only for the oxygen to surround him.
